Abstract: 26,087. Maschanka, E. July 11, 1911. Packeting by wrapping-up.-Relates to a machine for packing a determined number of coins &c. in paper strips so as to form a cylindrical package, the top and bottom edges of the paper being folded in on the coins. The Figure shows a machine for simultaneously forming five packages. The coins are fed into stationary funnels 10 and fall into tubes f, the lowest coins resting in recesses from which they are ejected by oscillating blades 12 actuated through a vertical shaft 5 by a crank-handle 8. The blades 12 deliver the coins through funnels m into a series of cylinders a carried on a rotatable ring 13. When the cylinders are full a lever 40 is operated so as to move levers 36 and lower a series of knife supports carrying stops 42 and thus put in action paper feed-mechanisms. Strips of paper supplied from rolls are then fed forward by suitable rollers actuated from the shaft 5. The ends of the paper strips enter the cylinders through slots, and are wrapped round the coins by these being rotated by vertical rollers entering slots in the cylinders. The knife supports are then raised, the knives c cutting the paper strips, and the stops 42 putting the feed-mechanism out of action. The coins rest on plates 43, which are also rotated, but can be lowered by a lever 55 through the action of cams. Another lever 68 operates a vertical sleeve e, and causes the advance of carriages 58 carrying spring crimping-arms d, which fold in the top and bottom edges of the paper wrappers during the continued rotation of the packages. The lever 68 is finally turned in an horizontal plane so as to turn the ring 13 until the cylinders come in position above delivery shoots g, and at the same time the driving-rollers release the packets. The packets in their descent into the shoots g pass over printing-rolls 72, which mark on them a figure indicating the number of coins contained. A counting-apparatus is operated by one of the ejecting-blades so as to indicate the number of coins fed into each packet. The coin-receiving cylinders are made interchangeable so that the number of coins packed can be varied.
